A lot of this music style has been posted in other places on the forum, but I do think it deserves its own thread.
The Disco Thread is mainly focussed on classic disco releases and edits, whereas disco( )house (or Euro-Disco?) leans more toward easy listening house music.
The style had it heydays around turn of the century when artists like Superfunk and Phats & Small lit up pop charts, but there are some nice contemporary pieces as well.
From time to time I rediscover some of these has-beens and I'm struck about the peculiar mood they create.
Open-hearted, accessible house music, omnipresent and copious without being too pretentious.
For dj's they're perfect secret weapons when facing difficult crowds.
The combination of cheesy vocals/videos, lack of originality and commercially driven radio edits normally turns my stomach, but somehow it works with these tracks (perhaps because I got in touch with it when starting my long-lived raving career).
Here we go:
The White Legend – Let The Music Play (Funkstar Deluxe Mixes)
I'd definitely recommend to get the vinyl release for this one. Four versatile versions for no money.
Robbie Rivera & D-Monsta - There's Some Disco Fans In Here Tonight
Johnny Corporate - Sunday Shoutin'
Superfunk - Last Dance In Copacabana
Full album is also worth checking
Cricco Castelli - Life Is Changing
Also have a look at diver's excellent tip from this morning https://forum.ibiza-spotlight.com/threads/guilty-pleasures.32592/post-1035010
